Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
The correct option is D Hallucinogens
Hallucinogens are also known as psychedelic drugs.
They are also known as vision producing drugs. They change behaviour, mood, thoughts and perceptions like in psychosis.
They produce a dream like state and cause loss of contact with external reality without any true sensory stimulus.
They cause hallucinations and produce false imaginations.
They effect cerebrum and sense organs which can lead to extreme feeling of euphoria (excitement) or despair.
So, the correct answer is ‘Hallucinogens’.
